A person travelling by a car moving at `100 km h^(-1)` finds that his wristwatch agress with the clock in a tower A. By what amount will his wristwatch lag or lead the clock on another tower B, 1000km (in the earth's frame ) from the tower A when the car reaches there?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here ` v = 100 km / h` ,
`Delta t = proper time interval `
` = 0.6 s^(-1) `
` Delta t' = Delat t / (sqrt 1 - V^(2)/ c^(2)) `
` = (sqrt (10 xx 3600 ) / 1 - (1000 / 36 xx 3xx10^(8)^(2)))`
` Delta t ' = 10 xx 3600 [ 1 - (1000 / 36 xx 3 xx 10^(8) )^(2) ]^(-1/2) Delta t `
by solving We get,
` Delta t - Deltat ' = 0.154 ns `
`:.` Time will lag by 0.154 ns ` .

A car is travelling at a velocity "10 km h"^(-1) on a straight road. The driver of the car throws a parcel with a velocity 10sqrt2km h^(-1) with respect to the car, when the car is passing by a man standing on the side of the road. If the parcel is to reach the man, the direction of throw makes the following angle with the direction of motion of the car

A car is moving with a constant speed of 60 km h^-1 on a straight road. Looking at the rear view mirror, the driver finds that the car following him is at a distance of 100 m and is approaching with a speed of 5 km h^-1 .
